Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the performance of the single crystal silicon modules (10 Wp) between the solar panel and the panel-mounted cooling fins. It is a uniform cross section of rectangle fins with operation under natural convection. The area of cooling fins has an area three times of the panel. Solar panels will be tested at an angle of 17 degrees, facing south. As the result, we found that the solar panel mounted with cooling fins,               the energy losses on the solar panel is reduced. So the solar panel is improved performance. The energy losses of solar panels are proportional to the incident light intensity and affect the performance of the panel. In the high-intensity of lighting, the performance ratio of the panel is lower than at low light intensity.          Keywords :  single crystal silicon module, performance ratio, fin
